The Waiting Is the Hardest Part

Have you ever had this experience? You’re in a physical education class in school and the instructor shares that you’re going to compete in a team sport during today’s class period. The instructor selects two team captains and then lines the whole class up against the wall. Each team captain takes turns choosing the members of his or her team. You stand against the wall with your classmates praying that you won’t be the last person chosen by the team captain. It’s excruciating as you hear name after name being called as you anxiously wait to hear your name. The remaining number of class members waiting with you is quickly dwindling. You begin to succumb to the enemy’s lies that you will never be able to improve your skills and that your worth is tied to your performance in this sport. No one wants to be the last name called.

Compassion Sunday is truly a great opportunity for you to share your sponsorship story with your church family while advocating for children still waiting for a sponsor. You can make a difference in the lives of children living in poverty by inviting your brothers and sisters in Christ to tell a child, “I’m here for you” by becoming a sponsor themselves.

We have been granted such a privilege in being used by God to bring sponsors and children into each other’s lives! We are here for you, too. As you prepare for your Compassion Sunday, please go to compassionsunday.com to check out everything that is available to you and to register your event.

Compassion Sunday is May 4th but you can choose any date that best suits your church’s schedule. Register now and we will send your event kit! Our prayer is for God to work in the lives of sponsors, Advocates, and their church families to participate in Compassion Sunday and release 15,000 children from poverty in Jesus’ name!

You’re welcome to join us for our April webinar. Click the link below to learn more about the session and to register. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
